Okay, so I'm rubbish at fight scenes, honestly rubbish. But I am going to try my best and not post this until I'm proud of it (so if I update this in two months well yeah…) I'm a bit nervous, so lets just jump right in!

The seven children scrambled to the back of the classroom and pushed themselves up against the wall. Matthew felt a cold hand glide into his, but this time he didn't flinch at the difference in temperature. Gilbert was looking down at the Canadian with a gaze that was probably meant to be reassuring but honestly looked a bit rabid.

The Prussian had let his vampiric instincts take over as a defensive maneuver, only retaining enough self control to tell who everyone was in the room and not attack anything with a pulse, of course the only one's that really would be in danger were Francis and Antonio.

Ivan smirked and pulled a gun out of the inside pocket of his jacket. A shining silver pistol that glinted dangerously as it caught the fluorescent lights of the room.

"Remember this one kitty?" He asked before pointing the gun at Matthew. He pulled the trigger but the neko was ready and ducked under it faster than any human should've been able to. The bullet embedded itself in the wall right where Matthew's head had been a half second before.

Everyone seemed frozen stiff with terror, staring at the mark the bullet had left, well everyone except Alfred whose vision had gone a bit red and everything from his hands to his cowlick was shaking with anger.

"Don't. Touch. My. Brother." He growled before launching himself at Ivan. Alfred may not have the fangs or claws his younger sibling did but he was extremely fast and had an insanely strong choke hold, which he was currently demonstrating on the Russian. But unfortunately Ivan managed to throw him off and he landed on the floor with a crack and a poorly stifled scream of pain.

The scream jolted everyone from their stupor and they all scrambled to defend themselves. Ivan had dropped the gun in his move to throw Alfred off, and it skittered across the floor. Antonio scrambled for it but was stopped by the almost white haired woman putting her foot down hard on his outstretched arm, smirking as he flailed and tried to pull her off. (Honestly he should've had the upper hand right?) The lady laughed and twirled the glinting knife between her fingers.

"Toni!" Both Francis and Gilbert screamed. The albino growled and launched himself at the lady prepared to sink his teeth in her neck.

The woman screamed and tried desperately to throw him off but Gilbert had the advantage and wrapped his legs around her waist, securing himself to her and readying to bite her. Just then there was a loud bang and Gilbert was suddenly on the floor howling in pain.

"Lo siento! Lo siento!" (I'm sorry! I'm sorry!) Antonio was currently holding Ivan's pistol in his shaking hands, he had obviously been trying to aim at the lady.

The scary lady towered over Gilbert smirking slightly. "Well, it's good you're not human, you would be bleeding out right now."

Gilbert looked at the wound, it was true it was not bleeding, it was just a big hole in the side of his leg that was kind of sickening to look at.

The lady advanced on Gilbert, pulling out a vial of what appeared to be water.

Holy Water.

Just as he realized what it was she sprinkled a few drops on him, it made his skin smoke and his nerves burn, like someone had pumped him full of acid a scream tore through his throat.

"GIL!" A usually quiet Canadian voice ripped through the air. The neko stood in a crouched position looking helplessly between Gilbert and Ivan who was currently advancing on his brother.

Suddenly a yip came from the back of the room and a fox came sprinting at Ivan and bit deep into his arm, effectively stopping his advance. The deep brown eyes of the fox gave Matthew a look that said,

'I'll hold him off, go."

"Thanks Kiku." the neko whispered. He didn't even know how he knew it was Kiku, it was just a feeling in his gut.

He sprinted the few feet between him and the vampire, hearing a crashing sound behind him but not caring what it was. He stood defensively in front of Gilbert and gave the lady dug his claws into the flesh of her arm when she tried to approach.

The lady stumbled backwards clutching her wound hissing in pain, the neko thought he may of incapacitated her but then launched herself at him. Her knife pierced deep into his shoulder and he howled with pain before whipping his tail around and tripping her. She landed on the floor with an undignified squeal but bounced right back up again, Matthew pulled the knife from his shoulder and threw it back at her, grazing her side, he would have done better if it weren't for his wound, it was gushing blood and the world was starting to get a bit fuzzy, he barely heard his brother scream his name and a German voice scream 'Birdie' amidst all the howls of pain. Then the neko collapsed on the floor, the carpet around him turning red.

Meanwhile at the backend of the room Arthur had himself pressed up against the wall, to better summon his magic in secret for as long as he had the gift of privacy, for everyone's attention was on the battle at hand. The spell he recited was one he had committed to memory, one that would heal Gilberts wound, and stanch the neko's bleeding (for that wound was so deep he could not heal it with one spell)

"Caelum circum meridiem, et quod confractum imperium curare sani!" (Encircle them in heavens glow, heal the injured and give strength to the healthy.)

The spell did it's job and the completely baffled vampire was back on his feet, Matthew was breathing easier and the stain on the floor had stopped growing, Alfred's bones had been reset and he was getting to his feet preparing to rejoin the fight. Even Kiku, who had been still hanging on to Ivan's arm bit with more ferocity, but instead of screaming Ivan let out a shrill whistle and the door burst open. A blonde man came bursting through holding a rifle in his hands. And who did he point the rifle at? The wizard directly in front of him of course! The wizard sighed and with a lazy flick of his wrist sent the man flying back against the far wall and there he stayed seemingly dazed by the impact.

"Pffftt, bloody git never heard of a time and a place?!" He said to himself rolling his forest green eyes.

Both attackers stared at the limp man against the wall, and Ivan, to show his frustration, finally ripped Kiku off of him (with great difficulty of course) and stamped hard on his leg, causing the fox to let out a cry of pain.

The fight seemed to come to a standstill, all members of either party staring at the limp figure against the wall. Gilbert who was cradling Matthew's head in his hands and reassuring a traumatized Antonio that he was in fact okay and knew it was an accident let out a surprised hiss and whispered.

"Bruder?"

That one word although it barely reached anyones ears seemed to stir the blonde man on the other side of the room, he opened his steely blue eyes groggily and peered around. And then, as if suddenly remembering what he was meant to do got to his feet and grabbed his rifle.

"Won't attack us with brother dearest on our side would you da?" Ivan said, smirking even though his injuries were very severe.

Ludwig turned his gaze to meet the red one of his brother. And Gilbert felt panic well up inside him, the Russian was right of course, he couldn't attack his own brother and he would most likely bite anyone who tried, friend or foe. The vampire backed up hands outstretched as if to push the German away, something wasn't right about the gun Ludwig held, although normal bullets wouldn't hurt him (as previously tested) something was different, a different type of metal Gilbert could sense it. Silver. It was silver, had to be. And the albino had a sinking feeling that that would work on him.

"Bruder, you vouldn't!? I know you are scared, but I am still you bruder aren't I?" He pleaded.

A flicker of doubt flashed through the blonde man's eyes. But he squared his shoulders and a gunshot ripped through the air.

Sorry for the length but I hope it was enjoyable! The language I used for the spell was Latin, I'll try to update soon but High School so no promises.
